The Canton advocate. [volume] (Canton, D.T. [S.D.]) 1877-1897, 1887-12-08

The World prints prominently the
following Washington special: The
presidents message, the first congress
of our second century as the United
States, will be unprecedented in the
long records of such communications.
For the first time in history the mes
sage to new congress will discuss
but one question. The president will
say that, in view of the paramount
and even vital Importance to the coun-
try of reduction of the tariff, he will
treat of that subject alone, and for the
present will refer congress, as to the
affairs of the different departments,
to the reports of the various cabinet
officers. The message will be much
shorter than the public has been led to
expect. 1t is entirely il the hand
writing of the president, is full of his
characteristic expressions, and is said
to be of his own preparation with, of
course, suggestions from his advisers
in and out of the cabinet from the first
to the last. The president will take
radical ground upon the tariff ques-
ton. He will recommend that nearly
all raw materials to be used in the
manufactures shall be put upon the
fire. list. He will recommend specifi-
Lally that iron ores, tin, plate, salt,
lumber, coal and wool shall be put up
on the free list He will not recon-
mend that copper ores shall be placed
upon the free list. He will not refer
at any great length to the discussion
as to the reduction of internal reve
nue. duties, but will make it clear that
he altogether disapproves of that
proposition. He will refer specifi-
cally to many articles upon which
there are now unduly high import du
ties, and recommend proper reduc-
tion of the tariff upon them. There
will he nothing in his message akin to
the horizontal reduction scheme of the
last Morrison bill. His recommen-
dations are more in the line of the bill
offered by Abram S. Hewitt in the
Forty-seventh congress. The presi-
dents statistician estimates that the
reduction thus specifically recon-
mended will amount to about $50 ,OO0,-
900 per annum. The president in re-
ferring to the surplus, will point out
with great vlgor, the absolute, and
above all, the speedy necessity of the
passage of such bill as will at the
earliest possible moment relieve the
country from this improper and really
illegal drain upon its resources.

day was that of w. E. Park, of CANTON,

the Shepherd saloon about $50; that he
Hagenois) took Arensdorf's order for
two beefsteaks, delivered the order over
to the night cook, and then put on his
coat and left the saloon and did noS see

with him the last time for drinks.

The Minneapolis Tribune publishes
an interesting sketch relative to the
manner in which the admission move
ment first originated and finally be-
came q fixed issue in the politics Of
Dakota The start was made when
congress seated Armstrong, democrat,
in 1872, by 78 majority. Fraud ran
rampant on all sides in. the campaign,
whici, 0osg Burleigh and Armstrong
$4,000 each and Sphinx went broke
entirely. Besides great maay 0ther
sharp lodges that were played after
election was the delay in returning the
count from Pembina county, which
was an unknown quantity, and it
proved the first pretaxt for division.
Continuing it's strain of reminiscent
ces the Tribunes says:
The actual political and sectional
history of Dakota dates from the fall
of 1870. At that time there were on
ly nine organized counties, towit:
Union, Clay, Yankton, BonHomme,
Lincoln, Turner, Minnehaha, Pembina
and Charles Mix. To some of these
was attached uuorganized territory
for voting purposes. The population
of the territory in 1879 was tritle over
$4,000, and occupied large extent of
country.
Tie vote cast at Pembina had to
come overland to st. Paul, thence by
railroad to Chicago, west to Dubuque,
Sioux City, and from the latter point
by stage to Yankton. 1t has always
been thought that the Pembina re-
turning board furnished a precedent
for the Louisiana returning board.
Shortly after the returns were receiv-
ed, DR.. Burleigh announced itas his
belief that "they can vote from one to
a million half breeds at Pembina, un-
der the leadership of Jud LaMoure
and old man Roulette" Pembina was
the general trading point for the
Manitobans and Minnesotiaps Of that
country, hence Burleigh's remark.
1t was then determined to divide
the territory. and q bill was drawn up
and introduced in the senate BY Sena-
tor Ramsey, Of Minnesota, and 3 dl.

How He is Likely TO shoot.

Mitchell Mail: Mr.. Nash, formerly
of the CANTON News. came in from
Sioux Falls. He mentioned to some
gentlemen that he had his gun loaded
for bar. and when it was discharged
Gov. Church and Col. Gale would be
distributed in small particles among
the stellar hosts. Friend Nash is more
likely to destroy the hind platform OF
his pantaloons when he shoots, than
anything else. Let the ornate colonel
and the grandiose Boynton enjoy in
peace their otium cum dig. The Mail
loves to gaze upon placid pictures OF
unalloyed felicity.

devoid of legal ability and practica'
common sense. But the important
objection that will be made to the use
of the book lies in the fact that the
time for the publication of the laws
expired some twenty days before the
work was ready for delivery, which
inyalidates the usefulness of the book
and makes a dead-letter of the law au-
thorizing its publication. In the first
place the law that authorized the pub
lication was not good, and now that
the law itself has not been complied
with, the work is utterly worthless
and useless.

New POst-Office Boxes.

Mr.. Matkin is happyto-day. After long
delay and long wandering, two cases con-
tanning the new pest-otfice boxes have
come to hand. When opened to-day the
boxes were found in good order and excit-
ed general admiration. Each of the two
sets, contains II boxes of ordinary size
and four large ones. Each of the former
is numbered: the large boxes are designat-
ed by letters. Every box has a metal door
in which is inserted a beveled pane of
strong glass through which the person
who rents the box can see if there is any
mail matter for him. The locks are of
the famous Yale pattern and no two keys
are alike. At the back of each box is a
brass slide for a card containing the renters
name. These cards will assist in distribut-
ing the mail, although Mr.. Taylor knows
every ones number and puts away each
letter and newspaper quickly and care
fully. The boxes will give the post-office
a metropolitan look and will be of much
public service, especially to people in the
country who wish to nave their letters
and newspapers retained for them until
they com to town. The boxes are rented
at $3.50 per quarter. The large boxes
which are known as scoops, rent for 81. 90
per quarter. There is quite a code regu-
lating the use of boxes. The following
are the principal rules: Letters address
ed to the friends of the owner of a box
stopping temporarily with him may also
be placed in the box, if directed to his
care or to the number of the box. But
letters addressed to other persons residing
in the same place, and living and doing
business separate and apart from a box
holder, should not be placed In such box.
No box at any post-office shall be assign
ed to the use of any person until the rent
thereof has been paid for at Leaf one-quar-
ter in advance, for which the postmaster
shall give a receipt. Postmasters must
rent the boxes and drawers in their post
office for ene-quarter three menths) only.
the money to be paid in advance, The
department insist upon a strict compliance
with this regulation. Boxes remaining for
ten days from the expiration of a quarter
will be declared vacated. A person rent
ing a post-office box is entitled to have the
letters of his family put into it. Each
box must be restricted to the use of one
family, firm, or corporation.

The Sand CouIee Branch Railroad to
be Built this Fall-The Railroad
Bridge to be Completed
Promptly Also.

IEUiipLis hISos
While Great Falls is occupied with the
Cascade county bill and confident that the
legislature will accord this region its just
rights, the extensive plans for the adj
vancment of this city and neighborhood
continue to make steady progress. Mr..
Paris Gibson has received by telegraph
from Col. Broad water, president of the
Montana Central railroad, the cheering
news that work will be begun at once on
the Sand Coulee and Neihart branch rail
road, which is to start IN this city from
the union depot. of the Manitoba and
Montana Central lines, and proceed hence
to the great coal fields at Sand Coulee,
owned by Col. Broadwater and his associ-
ates, which contain an unlimited quantity
of the best coal. Col. Broadwater further
says, that by means Of this Sand Coulee
branch. the Montana Central will be ready
to deliver coal in Helena as soon as the
rails are laid on the graded track, which
now connects Great Falls with the capital.
The Sand Coulee and Neihart branch
line. which will make Great Falls more
than ever a railroad center, will be con-
structed with all possible dispatch by the
railroad builders, who have won so much
renowni in building the Montana extension
of the Manitoba line, $50 miles long,
which is now rapidly approaching com
pletion. The contractors have examined
the route to Sand Coulee, and are conf
dent, with the large staff at their COM
mand, that the grading can be done with
in a fortnight.
MIR. Gibson has also received word by
telegraph, from Col. Broadwater, that
work on the railroad bridge will be push
ed to completion with all possible dis
patch. This bridge will enable the trains
to come right into the freight and passen-
ger depots, which will be in the park,
near the heart Of the city. The trains
from Sand Coulee will enter the same
depots, thereby ensuring the greatest
economy in transporting the coal from the
mines to the consumers in this city,
Helena, Butte and the territory in general.
All this good news shows that Col. Broad
water has transacted important business,
quickly with President Hill and his other
associates at st. Paul.
